Sandy Hook massacre: Official story spins out of control

The massacre of 20 children and 7 adults at the Sandy Hook
elementary school last Friday was one more in a long line of atrocious
mass murders committed in the USA. By now, five days later, an official
version of events has more or less solidified to explain the chain of
events. The familiar ‘lone gunman’ narrative has once more stoked the
hot-button issue of gun control and left the general population as
clueless as ever as to why people suddenly ‘go postal’ and target the
most vulnerable members of society.

On closer inspection, however, there is clearly more to many of these
mass shootings than meets the eye. Very often the earliest reports
present information that directly contradicts key foundations of the
final ‘official’ analysis of events. Granted, confusion is natural when a
story breaks, but some of the initial reports conflict so completely
with the lone gunman narrative that I’m going to compile them here and
then try to put this tragedy in a more objective context. In his speech
at the Sandy Hook Interfaith Prayer Vigil in Newtown, Connecticut on
Sunday night, President Obama quoted the following biblical passage:

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” ~ 2 Corinthians 4:18

The traumatised Newtown community deserves the facts without the
spin. Everyone touched by this brutal event deserves to know what really
happened, so let’s fix our eyes on what remains unseen…

A 20-year-old ‘tech geek’ named Adam Lanza is supposed to have
snapped early last Friday, December 14th, shot dead his mother Nancy
Lanza, loaded her car up with her guns and ammo, then driven it across
town to his former school, the Sandy Hook Elementary School, shot dead
27 people in two classrooms and an adjoining hallway, then turned one of
his guns on himself.

That’s how most will now remember the shooting, but is that actually what happened?

All the child victims were first-graders between the ages of 6 and 7.
If there’s any saving grace to be found in this event, it’s that it was
all over within minutes. Police were reportedly on the scene
“instantaneously”, according to Connecticut State Police Commander, Lt.
Vance and by then the shooting had ended. Listed among the slain school
teachers and administrative staff was the school principal, 47-year-old
Dawn Hochsprung. Right here we encounter our first problem:

The Newtown Bee
December 14, 2012Sandy Hook School Principal Dawn Hochsprung told The Bee
that a masked man entered the school with a rifle and started shooting
multiple shots – more than she could count – that went “on and on.”

How could the principal have survived to give this statement to local press describing what happened … if she was one of the first to be killed? Incidentally, The Newtown Bee‘s
article was taken down on Monday December 17th. Of course, a plausible
explanation is that a reporter mistook another teacher for the
principal.

We were initially told that two handguns – a Glock and a Sig Sauer –
were found next to the body of the dead shooter, while a third weapon, a
.223-caliber rifle was also recovered “in the trunk of a car” later, in
the school’s parking lot. All of the weapons were allegedly legally
bought and registered in Nancy Lanza’s name. The car was later
identified as a black Honda, also registered in her name. More weapons
have since been introduced to the story but we’ll get back to those
later on.

Besides anonymous ‘law enforcement officials’ telling the media that
Adam Lanza was a former pupil at the school, they also said his mother
was currently a teacher there,
that she was found among the dead and that her son had specifically
sought out her classroom first. But when it emerged that teaching staff
at the school had never heard of a Nancy Lanza, it was suggested that she was a substitute teacher whose name therefore mightn’t appear on staff lists.

But this claim too has disappeared down the memory hole because it’s now known that Nancy had no connection with the school.
Adam Lanza was in fact home-schooled. Nancy Lanza has since been
painted as a “survivalist” who loved firearms, taught her sons how to
shoot and was “stockpiling” because she was “worried about economic
collapse.”

Daily Mail, UKDecember 16, 2012Last night it also emerged Nancy was a member of the Doomsday
Preppers movement, which believes people should prepare for end of the
world.Her former sister-in-law Marsha said she had turned her home ‘into a
fortress’. She added: ‘Nancy had a survivalist philosophy which is why
she was stockpiling guns. She had them for defense.‘She was stockpiling food. She grew up on a farm in New Hampshire.
She was skilled with guns. We talked about preppers and preparing for
the economy collapsing.’

It’s not difficult to see that their efforts to insinuate that Nancy
Lanza was somehow responsible for this massacre by being an
irresponsible mother also serve to rile the large contingent of gun
owners in the country, particularly the far-right who see a conspiracy
on the government’s part to “take back our guns.” More on that later,
but for now I just want to note that all of the Lanza family members
seemed to live more or less normal middle-class lives. Yes, the parents
were divorced, but it was apparently amicable
and both put their own needs second to those of their children (and
anyway, divorce in the US these days is decidedly ‘normal middle
class’).

Despite “family insiders”
claiming that he was a “deeply disturbed kid”, Adam Lanza, like so many
other alleged ‘lone(r) gunmen’ before him, does not fit the profile of a
mass-murdering maniac. His 24-year-old brother, Ryan Lanza, said he
hadn’t seen his brother since 2010.
This fact brings into question Ryan’s claim that his younger brother
may have had his identity card on his person at the school shooting.
Although perhaps the question that needs to be asked here is, why would a
person bother to carry identification with them after going to the
trouble of dressing up in a bullet-proof vest, mask and black camouflage
gear and going on a killing spree …

The live emergency services audio feed from the scene reveals some
interesting observations from first responders that have been completely
overlooked by the mainstream media. Note that the unedited version lasts over two hours, so the abridged version
I’m going to quote from has a compressed sequence of events that are
not in real time. In this abridged version, we hear at 1.38′ a report
that gunfire is still being heard, even though the shooting was supposed to have ended by the time police arrived.
The next report at 2.35′ says that the shooting has stopped and the
school is “in lockdown”. At 3.23′, the police relay a teacher’s report
that she saw “two shadows running past the gym”. This is followed by another officer on the scene who says, “Yeh, we got ‘em, they’re coming at me! … [inaudible] … coming up the driveway real slowly!” That same officer at 5.40′ says he has them “proned out”, which presumably means he has apprehended them and they are laid out on the ground, before another officer comes on to say, “be aware that we do have a second [inaudible] …”

Later on, at 19.10′, an officer who sounds out of breath, like he’s
just given chase, reports what I think sounds like “these guys” followed
certainly by “multiple weapons, including long rifles and shotgun”.
If these were found so early on, why were they not included in the
initial press reports which stated that three firearms had been found –
the above mentioned Glock, Sig Sauer and Bushmaster AR-15 rifle? Further
conflicting, and possibly planted evidence was thrown into the mix by
‘law enforcement officials’ when they published video footage
of a long weapon being retrieved from the trunk of a car. Look closely
and you’ll see that it’s a shotgun, not a rifle. In addition, this
‘discovery’ was made late in the day (it’s dark outside), while the
Bushmaster rifle was first reported found “in the trunk of a car” much
earlier in the day. This would logically suggest that the rifle and
shotgun were found in the trunks of two different cars.

Besides the above two suspects “proned out” in front of the school,
another suspected gunman was apprehended after he gave chase, this time
in the woods next to the school:

The police are clearly chasing someone whom they appear to apprehend in
the middle of the woods next to the school, a fact confirmed by several
eyewitnesses:

This fleeing suspect, wearing camouflage gear, a bulletproof vest and armed with four guns, has
since disappeared from media coverage. Who was this person and how did
he know what “it” was when he protested that “I didn’t do it”?

Perhaps most astonishingly, this suspect arrested in the woods was named in an Associated Press report as 24-year-old Ryan Lanza. The original report has long since vanished of course, but you can see it referenced here.
This was despite the fact that Ryan had already been named as the
deceased suspect inside the school, lying next to two handguns.

Ryan Lanza was actually at work in Hoboken, New Jersey, that morning
when his name and photo began circulating in the media. And so, for most
of Friday, the ‘lone shooter’ was erroneously reported as “Ryan Lanza,
confirmed dead.” At the same time, we were being told that Ryan’s
girlfriend and a room-mate were reported missing, also from Hoboken, New
Jersey.

So this isn’t just a case of mistaken identity, as later claimed when
it was suggested that Adam had a piece of identification belonging to
his brother on his person. Not one, but BOTH Lanza brothers were being placed by ‘law enforcement officials’ at the scene of the shooting.
It could be that Ryan’s quick reflexes to leave his workplace to get on
a bus to go back to his apartment while protesting innocence via his
Facebook page may have saved his life.

Now remember, all of this confusion somehow resulted from a single
guy going into a school and shooting children and teachers and then
shooting himself, all within three to five minutes. Surely it should
have been fairly easy to rapidly and concretely identify the details of
such a crime and a rough layout of the scene?

What it’s starting to look like is that the Lanzas were framed for
this mass shooting in advance. Long before any suspects were named, and
even as we were being told that Nancy Lanza was among the dead at the
school, we were told that police were investigating a murder in …
Hoboken, New Jersey, where a body had been found at the home of … Ryan
Lanza! An older “confirmed” version of events had RYAN, not Adam, travelling to Hoboken that morning to murder his father before going to the school in Newtown, Connecticut. Other variants had Ryan OR Adam going to both their divorced parents’ homes and killing them before going to the school.

The narrative has now settled on the younger brother killing his
mother in Newtown then going to the school. So what about the rest of
it? Do we just put it down to ‘keen’ journalism that was having a field
day last Friday as media outlets sought to bring us the latest ‘breaking
news’? Confusion and ‘Chinese whispers’ undoubtedly play a part in the
early stages of national media events, but I think back to those news
anchors reading scripts about Osama Bin Laden within minutes of the
first plane being hit on 9/11 and I think, ‘Wait a minute!’ All these
misleading reports had to have been issued by someone or some people
“confirming” to Associated Press and other media outlets that the
Ryans’s father had been murdered [he wasn't even aware that the shooting
at the school had taken place until journalists turned up on his
doorstep], or that Ryan’s girlfriend had gone missing from Hoboken, or
that either Ryan or Adam were pulled out of the adjacent woods in
handcuffs yelling “I DIDN’T DO IT” to assembled parents. These aren’t just ‘little details’ that can be confused for other details, these are detailed narratives. So how, or why, would any member of the press come up with such details? They
strike me as a set of alternative scenarios that might have found their
way into the official narrative had facts on the ground turned out
differently.

Watch this snippet of State Police Lt. Paul Vance at the press
conference he gave the day after the shootings. His answer is as bizarre
as it is revealing. When asked whether Nancy Lanza had any connection
with the school, he replied defensively about something that is both
unrelated and arguably the most significant fact that completely
undermines the official narrative: the arrest of a second gunman in the
woods:

Most of the initial mainstream media reports have since been
rewritten to fit ‘new’ facts proclaimed by ‘law enforcement officials’.
Here’s an example from Business Insider. The following excerpts are the opening paragraphs from the ‘same’ article, one earlier original version, followed by the later revised version:

The massacre [...] was reportedly perpetrated with a .233 caliber rifle, a Glock pistol and a Sig Sauer pistol.The Bushmaster rifle was found in the trunk of the shooter’s car.
The Sig Sauer and Glock pistols were the only weapons used in the
shooting, according to CBS. Now the question is what kind of magazine
would allow a shooter to fire “100″ rounds in such a short period.

Indeed, I was wondering the same thing. How could two pistols do so much damage? The report was updated as follows:

The massacre in Connecticut that’s taken the lives of at
least 26 people was reportedly perpetrated with a .223 caliber rifle, a
Glock pistol and a Sig Sauer pistol, according to NBC:The shooter was using one Sig Sauer and one Glock pistol, according to CNN. Later details emerged that the primary weapon was the Bushmaster “assault-style” rifle.Altogether, though, it doesn’t matter what type of weapon the shooter used.
The bottom line is that it was likely a magazine fed, semi-automatic,
with enough rounds to shoot “100 shots” in a matter of minutes, as quoted in USA Today.

What actually happened may not matter to some, but surely a journalist’s role is to at least try to find out?

This Associated Press/Newsday article on Saturday, December 15th, reported that “Only the rifle was used on the victims“,
a statement that is supported by Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, Connecticut
state’s chief medical examiner. Of the seven autopsies he personally
performed on Sandy Hook victims, all of them had “three to 11 wounds apiece”. He also said that the ‘gunman’ used a military-style rifle rigged to quickly reload, and that the ‘shooter’ was able to reload so quickly because he had “taped two magazines together.”
Even before the State Chief Medical Examiner had given these
statements, it had been stated that spent shell casings from
.233-caliber (rifle) bullets were found inside the school.

So all the victims’ wounds were the result of rifle-fire, specifically from “the rifle”, the one we were told in early reports was found in the trunk of a car in the parking lot! This is simply not credible.

Remember that only “the rifle” was used on all the victims. If only this
rifle was used, and if we try to make this claim fit into the
(admittedly fluid) official version of events, then the alleged lone
gunman would have had to leave the school, place the rifle back in his
trunk, then return inside the school and shoot himself. No one reported
any such maneuver on the part of any gunman or gunmen. What we do have,
however, is live emergency services radio feed in which we hear that
two men have been apprehended and are “proned out” AND live video
footage supported by eyewitness testimony showing what appears to be a
THIRD man being arrested by police in the woods.

We can see how the authorities’ hands are tied because they need to fit all the facts into the usual ‘lone gunman’ narrative.
For that, there can only be ONE rifle and a couple of handguns. The
problem is that they have already claimed to find that solitary
Bushmaster rifle in the trunk of a car in the school parking lot, so the
earliest police reports of a cache of long arms being found inside the
school will no longer fit with the lone gunman narrative, especially as
they’re now saying that he had already opened fire as he burst into the
school.

Could “scrawny” 20-year-old Adam Lanza have stormed the school, solo
Rambo-style, while carrying “multiple long arms, including rifles and
shotguns”? Only one person was wounded. Everyone else who was shot was
killed. How could Adam Lanza achieve such deadly accuracy, in such a
short length of recorded time?

Initial reports put the beginning of the shooting in the school
administrators’ office, where someone, reportedly the school principal,
had a confrontation with the gunman(men). We know this because someone
supposedly turned on the school intercom system, alerting the teaching
staff to the loud swearing and commotion in the principal’s office and
probably saving many more children from being gunned down as teachers
took measures to hide the children in closets.

Similarly
heavily armed men wearing black combat gear from head to toe… their job
is to kill ‘terrorists’ to keep us safe, which they do by terrorising
us all

One brave teacher, Kaitlin Roig, bundled a bunch of children into a
bathroom and locked the door. What’s interesting about her testimony to
ABC News is that when police arrived and asked her to open the door, she refused, saying that “if
they were really cops, they’d know where to find keys to open the
door.” In addition, she requested that they slide their badges under the
door.

Now, this is generally a smart thing to do in any and all interactions with the police, especially in the U.S. But to have the wherewithal to do so under such traumatic circumstances strongly
suggests that Ms. Roig had logically deduced by that point that
multiple perpetrators were involved, and that they were either
impersonating police officers or were indistinguishable from SWAT team police commandos, either in the way they dressed or the way they behaved upon entering the building.
It also reminds us just how narrow the time window of the actual
shooting was. The shooting appears to have barely ended when men knocked
on that bathroom door and told Ms. Roig they were police.

There are also conflicting reports about how the gunmen entered the
building. We were told initially that they came in through the main
front entrance and proceeded straight to the administrators’/principal’s
offices. But Sandy Hook elementary school has a security system with a
video monitor, which allows staff to screen visitors before buzzing them
in. A “masked gunman dressed in black tactical combat gear” from head
to toe would kinda raise red flags, don’t you think?

Another possible anomaly
is that Victoria Soto, one of the teachers killed at the school,
appears to have had an ‘in memoriam’ Facebook page created in her name
four days before the shooting.

Regarding this alleged ‘LIBOR scandal’ connection between this shooting and the Aurora theater shooting, there is as yet zero evidence to support the claim that either father of Lanza or Holmes
were going to testify to anyone about anything, so for now this must
remain just another rumor. I rather think that this is being spread to
create the impression of a direct link that can be easily refuted, as in
a straw man argument. The obvious and direct link staring everyone in
the face is that the official accounts of these events are hocus-pocus.
The glaring connection between these two shootings, the Sikh Temple
shooting and the Fort Hood shooting is that multiple
gunmen were reported at the time by eyewitnesses, but they are now all
officially claimed to have been carried out by ‘lone gunmen’. This
logically tells us that the real perpetrators are being protected with
cover stories of what really happened because if the truth were known,
some section of the U.S. government would be implicated.

Wade Michael Page, the ‘lone gunman’ in the Sikh Temple shooting in Wisconsin in August this year, was a highly decorated U.S. army psychological operations specialist, according to the Pentagon. But what happened to the three other gunmen
seen by witnesses? It can’t surely be coincidence that Wade was
(former?) military psy-ops. The thought has crossed my mind more than
once during the aftermath of the Connecticut shooting. Others too have
suggested this was a ‘false-flag’ event, or that Lanza was some sort of
Manchurian Candidate.

But maybe there’s a simpler explanation (albeit more outrageous) than
that? Was that really Adam Lanza they found inside the school? Do we
even know for a fact that one of the gunmen was found dead inside the
school? What we have instead are reports of two or three masked gunmen,
apparently all dressed similarly in black tactical gear from head to
toe, being wilfully forgotten about at best, or protected by the Federal
Government at worst. Based on the authorities’ persistent but futile
efforts to connect the Lanzas to this school, the multiple eyewitness
reports of two shooters, the Connecticut State Medical Examiner’s report
that all the victims were riddled with bullets from a rifle that we’re
simultaneously being asked to believe was in the trunk of a car the
whole time, similar reports of multiple shooters in previous mass
shootings in recent years and the media focusing the emotional outcry
onto the hot-button topic of gun control … I’m left wondering if this
was actually the work of some highly trained professional hit team?

Was the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, a psy-op,
using what amounts to a ‘death squad’ and a carefully planned mission
to terrorise people on behalf of the government, in combination with
perception management to shape the narrative and vector the emotional
fallout?

Gun control isn’t really the issue here. Control – period – is the issue.
The U.S. government would long since have taken measures, quietly, to
limit the supply of weapons, the 2nd Amendment of the constitution be
damned (it’s “just a goddamned piece of paper“,
remember?), if it was really concerned with limiting civilian access to
weapons. That we’ve seen gun sales increase in the last few days to the
point where Wal-Mart is all out of assault rifles is wholly unsurprising.

The psychopaths in power have absolutely no compunction about using
state terrorism, in this case organising the deliberate massacre of
innocent children, to control people. In effect, this is little
different from what the U.S. government calls counter-insurgency or
counter-terrorism in foreign countries, where it attacks innocent
civilians to create the impression that they were killed by
‘communists’, ‘terrorists’, ‘insurgents’ or ‘militants’, with the aim of
generating public support for the illusion that the common people need a
strong, ruthless government to protect them from the ‘evil-doers’. When
the common people buy into this manipulation, the end result, as
history shows repeatedly, is an overt and brutal police state.

The Gulag Archipelago

In America, it's time to recall the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago:

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt."

GEORGE ORWELL QUOTE FOR ALL TIMES

"At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is not done to say it. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals."

This blog hopefully will describe my journey toward being a full-time trader of futures contracts, mainly of the E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract (ES), and since August 2008, mainly the Euro/USD Currency Futures.
